We are grateful to The Depaulia for news about Julia Rose, 2010 Midwest Rose. I'm a bit confused myself, as the official Rose site names Julia the Chicago Rose!. I'm sure they are the same thing.

It seems we have another Rose who is pretty good with the odd quip or two - "I just take one small step at a time," said Rose. "If you look at a mountain to scale, it's going to seem impossible to climb. But if you try little by little, you'll reach the top", a quote from the Depaulia article.

This, and more, from Courtney Sturgeon at The Depaulia.
